About 60% to 80% of depressed people manage to be treated successfully.(4) Basically, different depression level has different kind of depression treatment that works the best. However, the most effective...

This paper reviews the Composite Laminate Theories that have already been proposed and developed in the recent years. These theories mainly focus on the macro mechanical analysis of the composite laminates which provides the elastic relations of the lamina. Stress-induced failure can occur in multiple ways in composite materials. Hence to understand and predict transverse shear and normal stress accurately, various composite laminate theories have been developed. The advantages and...
